Bill Cowher Cia Quotations

I've been waiting a long time to do this. This is yours, man. This is special group of coaches, a special group of players and I was a small part.

I've been waiting a long time to do this. It's almost surreal. A lot of people tell you that you can't do it, but that doesn't mean that you can't keep trying and finally get it done. I was just one small part of this, believe me. I've got a special organization around me, and it all starts at the top.

We came a long way. This is a special organization and I'm happy for the players, coaches and the city of Pittsburgh.

Fourth-and-one with a Jerome Bettis , it's just an easy call to make. I feel so much appreciation for him.

There is a lot of tradition with Pittsburgh and to be a part of that would be really special. We have the four trophies in our building and I pass them every day and to bring another one there would be very gratifying and very special for the whole team.

There is nothing that I'll enjoy more. It's special to have them there with you, and it's more special to be with them, too, when they are competing.

Our effort today made history. That's what made it special to me: This team has been real resilient all year. It was one guy after another. It's a tremendous group of guys.

When we drafted Hines we didn't envision this. He has turned out to be a special, special player.

A lot of people tell you that you can't do something. Well you can't if you quit. We made history and that's what's special to me.

We've got to play our A game in all three phases - offense, defense and special teams - or we're not going to win this Super Bowl.

The officials said we didn't move on offense. But they didn't touch anybody on defense. But they had three guys in the backfield and they stopped the play with no call. That was bizarre.

Our officials are doing the very best that they can do. Obviously, at times, there's going to be mistakes made. To me, those guys are human like the rest of us, and we're moving on.

We didn't play well enough offensively and defensively, but I can't say enough about our special teams.

We had a special group, but it's hard to bring everybody back. That happens every year. You hope to keep a good nucleus, draft well and maybe pick up some free agents. It's going to be a challenge, but I like where we're starting and the players we're starting with.

Jerome Bettis, he gives you something. He's a very special back. ... You see him running and jumping and jump-cutting, doing the things that he does.

Jerome Bettis, he gives you something. He's a very special back.

Jerome is a great guy. What a way to go out. I was happy for him. He's a special guy.

I love coaching, and I love being in Pittsburgh, ... When you get a chance to come back to the place you grew up, there's something special about that. I grew up here, my parents still live here, and I've been able to raise my girls here. We've been in the same house since 1992, and that's unique in our business.

I have so much respect for what Jerome Bettis has meant to this football team. He's such a classy guy and he's been such an inspiration. He and I have always had a special relationship, and this is a special moment for him.

It has been a help from the standpoint of knowing how to prepare for these types of games, being in important games and dealing with adversity. I think it is important to appreciate where you are and know where you came from.

This is a special group. This is not about me. It's about this team; it's about this ownership; it's about the players and coaches. I'm one small part of this, believe me.

This is a special group of players, these guys are so deserving - I couldn't be more happy for Mr. Rooney, the players, the coaches and the city.

I never get to tell anyone what to do. I'm being told what to do and what to wear and where to go, and there is something pretty special about that.

In my 14 years, I don't think we've ever had so many guys get votes. As I told the team, it was very reflective of what they thought of their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team. That is pretty special to get that many guys with two or more votes.

He's a special person; he means a lot to this team. He's been very much an inspiration to this team. I think we're driven very much by trying to make this a special year for him.

It's almost surreal right now. We've got a special organization, and it starts at the top. I couldn't be more happy for Mr. Rooney, for the coaches, for the players and for the city of Pittsburgh.

It's almost surreal right now. This is a special group of coaches and a special group of players. All year long they were resilient.

Even at the end of the game, you can see what he gives you, that extra two, three yards. I have so much appreciation for him, more than I can even express. We've been through a lot together.

We had an opportunity to coach him in the Pro Bowl and that's a special player. Andre Johnson has turned into one of the better receivers in the National Football League.

Mr. Rooney is a football guy. He wanted this business, and he was very supportive through the three non-playoff years, and I'm very appreciative of that, and will always understand that and appreciate that patience.

It's surreal. I'm going to tell you, this is a special group of coaches, a special group of players. I was one small part of this.

I can't say enough about our special teams. To me, that was the only thing that was on today. We didn't play well enough offensively or defensively.

I can't say enough about our special teams.
